business plan software


I have Googled and searched until blurry-eyed...

Anyone know of a Linux-based software for developing a business plan?

Business Plan Pro by Palo Alto is what I have used on Windoze...but would
like to find a Linux product.

It could also be a collection of linked spreadsheets and text files (Excel
and Word) that I could use on OpenOffice.

Any suggestions?

TIA...

I'm not familiar with that program, but perhaps one of these links may help.

Thanks for all the information and links.

Unfortunately, I tried all these "usual suspects" and came up empty.

Still looking (and posting questions...)

Yea my buddy uses that on windows....it aint cheap. Have you tried installing it with Codeweavers plugin? They have a few apps that work. But make no mistake about it, there shit is buggy as hell on apps that arent used frequeently. But some stuff work. If it is mission critical, just keep the windows box and just 'rdesktop' into it. That is what i do, I use money 2004 because linux just does not some apps i need.

rdesktop is remote desktoping and it work flawlessly...awesome app. I know it works on XP and not sure about the rest. I think this would be the best solution because like money(and nobody say gnucash, because it is not the same as money 2004), some apps are just not there and i would not think this one would be either.

So, find a minimal machine...install windows and just rdesktop to it. best and easiest solution.
